There is a diet that has been getting more recognition lately.
It is called the Hospital 3 day diet and was originated at the Birmingham Hospital.
At least that is the claim.
Its main appeal is that it helps the patient lose up to 10 pounds over a three day period of time.
Now the institution it was named after takes no affiliation with the diet.
The main theme of the Hospital 3 day diet is low calories.
This low caloric diet gives you the limit of approximately 1,000 calories per day over the three days.
This diet has also been given the name of the 3 day Tuna Diet because a main food source is the tuna fish.
We are not going to go over the menu of the diet, but rather we will discuss if it works or not.
Many people who have tried the diet have lost weight with it.
It really is just basic science that if you cut your calories drastically you will lose weight.
This diet is nothing special when it comes to that.
The biggest problem with the program is how many calories you must cut out.
It can be unhealthy for some people to even try this diet because of the severe cut in calories.
This diet may or may not be for you.
I personally think that there are far better alternatives to the Hospital 3 Day Diet.
I prefer a more balanced program that is a lifestyle choice instead of a gimmick.
Long term weight loss does not come from gimmicks, but from hard work and consistent balanced lifestyles.
